SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,351, dated April 5, 1904.

Application filed July 6, 1903. Serial No. 164,277. (No model.)

To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GARLIOK, of Geneva, in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Heating Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has-for its object the production of a heating apparatus which readily circulates and heats the air of the building containing the same and produces a maximum amount of heat with a minimum quantity of fuel; and to this end it consists in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters refer to corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the greater portion of a heater embodyinga preferred construction of my invention. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are sectional views taken, respectively, on lines A A, B B, and C C, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a sectional View taken online D D, Fig. 4. Figs. 6 and 7 are sectional views taken, respectively, on linesEEand F F, Fig. 5. Figs. 8 and 9 are plan views of lower and upper floors of a house provided with the preferred construction of my invention. Fig. 10 is a sectional view taken on line Gr Gr, Fig. 9.

The illustrated heater comprises a combustion-chamber, means for conducting and heating the fresh air and discharging the same into the room containing the heater, and means for conducting and heating the foul air and discharging the same into the combustionchamber.

1 is the combustion-chamber, which may be of any desirable form, size, and construction.

2 is a heating-chamber arranged beneath the combustion-chamber 1 and usually extending from front to rear of the base of my heater. This chamber 2 is provided with two lengthwise compartments 3 4, having corresponding ends separated by alengthwise partition 5, Fig. 3, and their other ends connected together between the front wall of said chamber and the front edge of the partition 5, said compartments thus forming a substantially U-shaped passage.

6 7, Fig. 5, are substantially upright passages, one, 6, having its upper end 8 opening from the combustion-chamber 1 and its lower end 9 discharging into one of said separated ends of the compartments 3 4 and the other passage, 7, having its lower end opening from the other of said separated ends of the compartments 3 4 and its upper end provided with openings 10 11, communicating, respectively, with the combustion-chamber 1 and a draft-conduit 12. A suitable damper 13, Fig. 7, is provided at the upper end of the conduit 7 for controlling the flow of the products of combustion to the draft conduit 12. The damper 13 normally closes the opening 10 in order to permit the flow of the products of combustion from the passage 7 through the opening 11 into the draft-conduit 12; but said damper may serve to close the opening 11, in which event the products of combustion escape directly from the chamber 1 through the opening 10 and the upper end of the passage 7 above the closed opening 11 into the draftconduit 12. v

14, Fig. 1, is a fresh-air chamber beneath the chamber 1, having its intermediate portion 15 arranged above the heating-chamber 2 and its side portions 16 extended laterally beyond the sides of the chamber 2 and downwardly at the opposite sides of said chamber, the lower walls of said side portions being shown as disposed in substantially the same plane as the lower wall of the chamber 2. Fresh air is admitted to the chamber 14 by a conduit 17 discharging through the bottom wall of the intermediate portion of said chamher, and the heated fresh air is conducted from the chamber 14 by substantially upright passages 18, Fig. 5, which open from the top wall of the chamber 14, are arranged at opposite sides of the passages 6 7, and discharge into the room containing the heater.

19, Fig. 1, is a foul-air chamber having its intermediate portion arranged beneath the chamber 2 and its side portions extended laterally beyond the sides of the chamber 2 and beneath the side portions of the chamber 14. Said chamber 19 is divided into two compartments 2O 21 by a lengthwise partition 22, and each of these compartments is provided with a partition 23, extending from one wall, as the back wall thereof, and formed of less length than the partition 22, thus providing a passage 24: between the opposite wall of the compartment and the contiguous end of the partition 23. Each of the compartments 20 21. is also provided with an inlet 25, opening through its bottom wall at one side of the partition 23, for permitting the entrance of the foul air and is connected to an upright passage 26, opening from the top wall of the compartment at the opposite side of said partition-28. The passages 26 discharge into a.

heating-chamber 27, preferably surrounding the combustion-chamber 1 and provided with exits 28, which communicate with said combustion chamber and discharge the heated foul air thereinto.

When my heater is used in an inclosure, as a house containing anumber of rooms, I provide a plurality of the rooms with upright pipes 29, Figs. 8, 9, and 10, having their lower ends formed with inlets in close proximity to the floors of the rooms for receiving the cold air from above the floors and having their upper ends suitably connected to a chimney 31 or to any other desirable air-shaft. If preferred, two of the rooms, one directly above the other, may be connected by a register or conduit 32, opening through the floor of the upper room and the ceiling/of the lower room. Said pipes 29 and register 32 greatly facilitate the operation of my heater in circulating and heating the airin the house; but it will be understood that the same are not an essential of my invention.

In the operation of my heater the cold air from the room passes into the foul-air chamber, is more or less heatedin said chamber, and then ascends through the passages 26 to the heating chamber 27, Where said air is heated to substantially the temperature of the gases and other products produced or distilled in the combustion chamber 1. The heated foul air escapes through the exits 28 into the combustion-chamber and greatly facilitates the combustion of the heated products therein and reduces to a minimum the waste of the fuel. The heated products of combus tion and the foul air united therewith flow through the passage 6, the heating-chamber 2, and the passage 7 to the draft-conduit and during their passage heat said chamber 2 and cause the same to heat the fresh and foul air chambers. The fresh air entering the chamber 14 is heated by the chamber 2, ascends naturally through the passages 18, and is discharged thereby into the room containing my heater. A positive circulation of the air in said room is thus efiected, and consequently heating and ventilating of the room is greatly facilitated.

The construction and operation of my heating apparatus will now be readily understood 5 upon reference to the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art. that more or less change may be made in the construction and arrangement of the component parts thereof without departing from the spirit of my invention.
